The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has exposed yet another disturbing layer of crypto opacity in its investigation “Hunt for missing millions unmasks one crypto exchange hidden inside another.” The findings reveal a marketplace built on offshore shells, nested operations, and regulatory blind spots.
It was early 2019 when a year-long investigation by law enforcement agencies resulted in the arrest of two cybercrime masterminds, Uwe Lenhoff and Gal Barak, took place. Both were clients of Rudolf Booker's high-risk payment processor Payvision with their scams. Lenhoff was even a sales partner of Payvision. Now the Dutch lawyer Marius Hupkes is also taking action against Payvision in Amsterdam on behalf of scam victims and invites them to contact him.
